Diamond has released its year -end figures for 2007, and as soon as we figure out the HTML, we’ll be putting up more of them. In the meantime here’s how to publishers shook out — it was Marvel’s year all the way as it widened its lead in both unit and dollar share over DC.
CAPTAIN AMERICA #25 was the top selling periodical of the year and CIVIL WAR was the best selling graphic novel.

Seeing numbers like this always leads me to a similar conclusion about the stock market. Namely, that high prices do not always guarantee quality of product.
When Gemstone beats you with only 9 months of product, you know you had a bad year.
Why isn’t this in the sales charts category?
